My First Cables!

I am finally knitting something with cables! I don't know why I was afraid of them. They are easy! This is the silk/wool blend that my secret pal gave me and it is oh so luscious to work with. I am having a lot of fun with this pattern. Don't ask about the previous lace wash cloth I was doing. I don't know what it was, but I couldn't stay focused and kept making mistakes. I must have knit 5 washcloths if you count how many times I ripped that thing back to the beginning. So I gave up. I will pick it up again in a few weeks. I figured I better quit before I killed somebody!
